Bolt Action - Renault R35

Discover the Bolt Action - Renault R35, an exceptional model of one of the most iconic French tanks of World War II. Designed in 1933 and produced from 1936, the Renault R35 was intended as a light infantry support tank, specifically designed to support autonomously assembled armored battalions assigned to various infantry divisions to assist them in offensive operations.

Key features:

• Historical accuracy: The Renault R35 was known for its relatively good armor, but it was also slow and lacked effective anti-tank capability, equipped with a short 37 mm cannon.
• Development of the R40: At the outbreak of the war, the anti-tank role became more prominent, leading to the development of a subtype with a more powerful, longer cannon, the Renault R40, which began production in April 1940.
• Large-scale production: Despite plans to shift new production capacity to manufacture faster types, the R35/40 remained the most numerous French tank during the war, with approximately 1685 vehicles produced by June 1940.
• Export and use: R35s were also exported to Poland, Romania, Turkey, and Yugoslavia, and were used by the Germans and their allies as captured vehicles.
• Complete model kit: Includes a resin and metal model of the Renault R35, decals, Bolt Action stat card, and vehicle damage markers. The models are supplied unassembled and unpainted, allowing you to create your own unique version.
